It is called capitalism Martin. If a company can make more money relocating outside the US they have every right to do so

If government would take their hands out of the companies back pocket, they would not leave

Answer me this

What is the difference between a liberal and a taxidermist?

The taxidermist gives you back the skin

The tolerance of the modern day liberal party is a kin to the s.s. of the nazi's.

Hillary would raise taxes on rich
By Christina Bellantoni
December 14, 2007

JOHNSTON, Iowa — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday said her plan for fiscal responsibility includes tax increases, during a debate at which the Democratic contenders kept it civil and stressed they will "ask" Americans to sacrifice to achieve their policy goals.

"I want to restore the tax rates that we had in the '90s," said the New York Democrat and former first lady. "That means raising taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals. I want to keep the middle-class tax cuts."

Mrs. Clinton also said cost savings from her universal health care plan would help the average Americans and spur economic growth.

The other Democratic presidential hopefuls also walked a careful line on raising taxes and pledging fiscal responsibility, mostly saying they would end tax breaks for the rich.

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut touted his work to expand the child care tax credit and said he would extend the earned income tax credit to "lift people up" and spur the economy.

"Too often, I think Democrats are just associated with tax increases and not growing the economy and not investing in the growth of our nation," he said.

Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina said it is unfair that middle-class families struggle and suggested that corporations and the rich are prospering because they established tax policy.

"What we ought to be doing instead is getting rid of these tax breaks ... the wealthiest Americans, big tax breaks for companies that are actually taking American jobs overseas," he said.

Bush Bests Dems Again in Budget Battle
Rick Moran
Perhaps we should begin to question just which party is in the majority in Congress.

All of a sudden it seems, the Republicans appear to have found themselves and, along with a newly energized President Bush, have pushed the Democrats to the wall time and again on spending and are finding that rather than fight, the majority party is surrendering:

House Democratic leaders yesterday agreed to meet President Bush's bottom-line spending limit on a sprawling, half-trillion-dollar domestic spending bill, dropping their demands for as much as $22 billion in additional spending but vowing to shift funds from the president's priorities to theirs.

The final legislation, still under negotiation, will be shorn of funding for the war in Iraq when it reaches the House floor, possibly on Friday. But Democratic leadership aides concede that the Senate will probably add those funds.

A proposal to strip the bill of spending provisions for lawmakers' home districts was shelved after a bipartisan revolt, but Democrats say the number and size of those earmarks will be scaled back.

When defense spending is added to the total, discretionary spending for fiscal 2008 would reach a tentative total of $936.5 billion, $3.7 billion more than the president's request, said House Appropriations Committee staff members. All of the additional money would be spent on veterans affairs.

The agreement signaled that congressional Democrats are ready to give in to many of the White House's demands as they try to finish the session before they break for Christmas -- a political victory for the president, who has refused to compromise on the spending measures.
The Senate will have little trouble agreeing to a spending measure for the war since Senator Harry Reid has virtually thrown in the towel of opposition thanks to the dramatically improved conditions in Iraq.

One need only think back to the summer when the President and Republicans seemed to be on the ropes. But they have made a nice comeback in the fall to the point that the American people are taking notice. The President's approval number has climbed to 37%, a sign that a measure of confidence might have been restored by the public in the administration.

Liberal blogger Matthew Yglesias sums up the mood of Democrats:

The whole thing actually gets more depressing in the details. But to make a long story short, a combination of Senate filibusters, White House veto threats, and Democratic unwillingness to push the envelop of confrontation, has the Republican minority getting its way on overall domestic spending levels, on war funding, on AMT offsets, and basically on everything else.
Expect some backlash by the left as they harshly criticize their members of Congress for caving in to GOP demands on spending.
